- Provide clear, rubric-based written feedback.
What you need
- 3+ years professional software engineering
- Real open-source contribution or maintainer experience (merged PRs, committer / maintainer roles)
- Strong ability to audit reference patches, test runners, and Docker isolation, and to detect answer leakage / reward hacking
- Fluency across common ecosystems (Python and at least one of Java / Go / TypeScript / C++)
Nice to have
